NC-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

car pool requirement vs no car for commuting restriction

LEED NC SSc4.4 requires preferred parking for carpool or vanpools for 5% of total parking spaces. In our project of a company’s head quarter, there are certain numbers of parking will be installed which are only available to monthly lessee living the neighborhood while all FTEs are prohibited to come to work by car. We wonder if we can assume the rule can satisfy the car pool/ vanpool requirement as the fact no FTE uses car achieves higher level of qualification than the usage of car pool/ vanpool We appreciate your guidance.

Noriko, this is a little tricky. It actually sounds like Option 3: no new parking is the best fit for this project, but you are providing some parking, so I'm not sure how to handle that. I wonder if you can exclude the parking from the LEED boundary, if it doesn't support your daily operations? Or apply some kind of LEED requirement to those spaces?I don't think you can earn this credit without dealing with the leased parking spaces in some way.
